Kylie Minogue’s Tour Update Following Illness-Related Cancellations: “So Sorry”

Australian pop legend Kylie Minogue has announced she is back on the road after falling ill and cancelling four major shows on her current Tension world tour.

Taking to her social media on Wednesday after resuming the tour with a show in Espoo, Finland, the Padam Padam hitmaker thanked her fans for their support and understanding.

Kylie also used her Instagram post to update ticket holders to inform then that her cancelled shows in Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn won’t be going ahead on the current tour.

However, Kylie did announce she was able to remount her cancelled gig in Berlin for July 4 – after pulling the pin on the show ahead its original June 12 date.

‘Hi Lovers,’ she began in the share.

‘I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for all the kindness and support you showed me whilst I was unwell.

‘The energy I felt from you all got through the show last night in Finland.

‘I’m once again really sorry I wasn’t able to do the shows last week.’

She also told her disappointed fans who hold the tickets for the cancelled shows in Europe they could ‘contact their point of purchase’ for refunds. 

‘I am so, so sorry not to be able to visit you this time,’ she added.

She continued, ‘Thank you for all your love, support and understanding, it means more than you ever know,’ and signed off, ‘Love Kylie xx.’

It comes after Kylie took to Instagram to announce she had to stop the tour to recover from after being diagnosed with laryngitis last week.

‘Hi Lovers, as some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of the Tension Tour. 

‘I made it over the finish line (yay) but unfortunately have succumbed to a viral infection (Hello laryngitis),’ she said.

‘I’ve tried my best to recover fast to start our next run on Monday but I’m afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform the best for you.

Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx (voice box), often leading to a hoarse voice or loss of voice.

It’s usually caused by a viral infection, vocal strain, or irritation of the vocal cords.

Confirming they would take place on another date, Kylie added: ‘I’m so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled.

‘Please keep hold of your tickets, we’re doing our very best to reschedule the dates and will update you very soon on that.

‘Thank you for understanding – you know I love you all. And I LOVE THIS SHOW! And I’ll miss you next week, and I can’t wait to see you all. Love Kylie xx’

The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK, but has only now begun to make a name for herself in the US following the success of her viral 2023 hit Padam Padam.

However, her record label revealed in 2023 the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the US market.

Padam Padam and follow-up album Tension helped turn her fortunes around in America and landed her a Grammy, a second number one on the US Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and a Las Vegas residency.
